This is not correct, technically. The \score construct groups a music
expression together with an output def (either \midi or \layout).
Score contexts are created implicitly when the interpretation of that
music expression starts.

The behavior of this is softcoded in the function
default-toplevel-score-handler.
I think the default is to collect all scores together and join them in a \book.
